At the bastion of liberalism, Sharon Rondeau's The Post & Email, seems to be all in on RFK Jr. How nice of Jeff to be so concerned and excited by his "surge". As Bob has pointed out, Sharon is OUTRAGED that RFKJ is being "censored". Now this:
MAGAts have been HOWLING about the DNC not planning debates. You could see a few puffs of smoke from their heads when the twice-impeached one-term loser on trial for rape said he didn't see any point in debating in a much more competitive primary.

(Apr. 30, 2023) — The worst nightmare for an incumbent President is to receive a serious intra-party nomination challenge. In recent history, it has happened three times. In 1976, a conservative challenger, former California Governor Ronald Reagan, made a valiant attempt that almost succeeded in denying the GOP nomination for President Gerald Ford.
In 1980, U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) vigorously challenged President Jimmy Carter for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination. In 1992, conservative commentator Pat Buchanan offered Republican Party voters an alternative to moderate President George H. W. Bush. While none of these intra-party nomination challenges were successful, the incumbent Presidents were weakened and eventually lost the presidential race to their opponents in the general election.
In the upcoming 2024 election, a similar scenario is emerging in the Democratic Party. This week, incumbent President Joe Biden announced in a video that he is running for re-election. To say his announcement “landed with a thud” is an understatement. Biden is very unpopular with the American people. In a recent Gallup poll, only 37% of respondents approve of Biden’s performance, while an astounding 59% disapprove of his presidency. [Note: Jeff forgets to mention T****'s popularity.]

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics ... c-primary/Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s threat to Biden is inflated in polls. Here’s why.
Kennedy is pulling as much as 19 percent in early polls, leading Republicans to hope he’ll damage Biden
Analysis by Aaron Blake Staff writer April 27, 2023 at 5:43 p.m. EDT
The good news for President Biden’s just-launched 2024 reelection bid is that, for now, it doesn’t appear as though it will include a serious primary challenger. The bad news is that he’s ceding a significant and potentially embarrassing chunk of voters to an anti-vaccine activist. Multiple recent polls show Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pulling double-digit support in the primary, including a Fox News survey Wednesday that showed him at 19 percent.
That network has frequently covered Kennedy’s campaign and interviewed him more than once over the past week or so, as certain Republicans have made clear they see utility in elevating Kennedy to undercut Biden. How much might the candidacy actually undercut Biden? It’s probably worth not overselling the early polls, for a few reasons.
The National Review this week published an article suggesting that such a double-digit performance from Kennedy could prove costly for Biden. No incumbent president in the past 50 years has ceded that much of the vote to a primary challenger and won reelection, it noted. That’s technically true, but it ignores a whole lot of nuance.
The first point is that we’re talking about a small sample size. There have been only three such instances, all more than 30 years ago: Ronald Reagan’s 1976 challenge to Gerald Ford, Ted Kennedy’s 1980 challenge to Jimmy Carter, and Pat Buchanan’s 1992 challenge to George H.W. Bush.
